It’s a tough market to get in right now. AI creates average logos that are better than most of the handmade logos. You only give the brand description, and choose from infinite number of logos in just seconds. And for free. (only need to pay for extras like cover pictures, assets etc.)

Some people may think a logo is important but it’s not. I don’t see any startup/brand fail because of a bad logo.

Unless you create a system to compete with those AI logo companies, I don’t recommend any graphic designer to get into that market.

What about SEO? Google not sending you some traffic?

On your landing page/app you can say something that “we select beta users with review/invitation bla bla we’ll send you an invitation after the review bla bla please enter your email/phone bla bla”

After you get to a number of applications. Make it boom. Send mass mail/notif etc. They’ll be in at the same time.

Some things to remember;

- Make sure you write something like beta/private so first users don’t swear when they get in… Or fake it with your fake users at first.

- Make sure the number of applications is enough to make it boom.

If ideas worth anything, there would be an idea marketplace.

People should focus on “the metric” they consider as a win.

It may be a ;

- “click” on “newsletter email” drop. (if you start collecting emails it would also help you after launching the real product)

- “click” on a “Buy Now” button.

- “click” on an “affiliate link”.

- “time spent” on the article.

- “filling the form” on sign up page.

etc.

Adding those kinds of analytics events would help you to get a general idea.

“You get X number of Y events from Z number of visitors. Is this good enough for us to continue?”

You can first start by building a community around you with a Twitter/Youtube account. Create content about AI, and engage with other people to get some followers. But that’s a long-term and fulltime business too.

You can create a blog with good SEO content. (Also long-term. At least 2-6 months.)

I’m not sure there is an easy way of this. Maybe you can just create ads on google/fb.

If you are asking how to validate, it depends on the product. But my validation advice for digital products is;

1- Create a landing page(1 day) or a basic prototype (1-7days). The prototype should not have any functionality. But it should look good enough. It’s only to see visitor’s interest on the product. Count the clicks on signups, views, pricing etc. You don’t even need a login mechanism. You can say sign up’s are closed/private after visitors click. Just fake it.

2- Try marketing on it. Marketing is the hardest. This is where most founders stuck and decide to drop the project. Try to find a scalable channel for the product. Google ads, fb/instagram ads, social media etc. Spend $50 on ads to see a traction.

Sending it to a friend from whatsapp is not a scalable method. (unless there is a growth mechanism that would go viral)

3- Getting good traction? People want to try the product? Create the MVP.
